"Hmm......" Ming Cheng opened his eyes slightly and responded unconsciously, his eyes looked at the faint light coming down from the stairs above his head, and his expression was rare with yearning.

Yan Feng took the hand of the blood of the alien beast for a moment, and he put the smooth leaves containing the blood of the alien beast to Ming Cheng's mouth, Ming Cheng in his awake state was more cooperative in the past, and he only needed to pour it when he fell into a coma.

The beast blood that came to his mouth was thick with a fishy smell, and Ming Cheng's gaze finally retracted, and he slowly rolled his eyes, glancing at the blood of the beast full of leaves.

I don't know what Yan Feng added to it, the blood of the alien beast can be maintained for a long time without clotting. He was usually very conscious, but today he used all his strength to turn his head away.

"Mingcheng?" Yan Feng looked at his chest that was rising and falling violently because of a little movement, and suddenly tensed his face. He removed the things in his hand and let Ming Cheng lean on his arms, and patted it gently with his free hand to help him steady his breathing and heartbeat.

It's just a small gesture, and it feels like you've died once. Ming Cheng leaned on the chest of the person behind him, opened his mouth slightly and breathed rapidly. There was a golden light in front of his eyes, and he couldn't swallow it in one breath.

It wasn't until Yan Feng squeezed him hard somewhere between his ribs that Ming Cheng, who coughed suddenly, suddenly gasped for breath. He slowed down for a long time before calming down a little, and then he felt the warm fingers moving on his cheeks.

Yan Feng wiped away the tears he held back one by one, and his palm, which was already rough, felt even rougher at this time.

Ming Ze moved his eyes along his wrist, and then finally landed on the face of the man who was holding him behind him.

Yan Feng lost weight.

Lips that are dry to the point of molting, eye sockets that are deeply sunken, and cheeks that are thin to the point of being unshaped. The tears that had just been wiped away fell again in an instant.

"Don't cry." Yan Feng was a little clumsy and wanted to wipe it with his sleeves, but his shirt had already been scrapped, so he had to cover his eyes with his palm.

"Ah Feng......" After a while, Yan Feng heard Ming Cheng calling him in a low voice.

"Hmm." Ming Cheng had already suppressed his tears, and he handed the blood of the alien beast to Ming Cheng's mouth again. Although he added a shellfish bead to slow down the clotting of the beast's blood, the longer it was exposed to the air, the more the energy contained in the beast's blood would volatilize.

"I want to go out and have a look." Ming Cheng leaned on Yan Feng's shoulder without the slightest strength, and after crying, he seemed to be a little more angry. At least he speaks, and it's no longer breathy.

"Finish this first." Yan Feng pressed the edge of the leaf against his lips.

Ming Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth helplessly, his mouth was as stupid as anything, and he even liked it first, he really planted it in this life.

"You are half and I am half, if you dare to pour me, I will take advantage of your absence to climb on it, sooner or later I will die, if you die before me and then let me starve to death, I might as well kill myself first." Ming Cheng rested a few times and finally finished saying this passage, his voice was small, but he said it word by word.

Yan Feng looked at him for a while, removed the blood of the alien beast from Ming Cheng's mouth, and as soon as he raised his head and drank half of it, he immediately put the remaining half to his lips.

He will compromise because what Ming Cheng just said is serious.

This fool who lives next door to him and his bamboo horse, don't look at the usual way of always talking well, but he always does what he says.

Ming Cheng was satisfied, and he consciously drank the remaining half. As soon as the blood of the alien beast entered the throat, the hot sensation burned all the way down the throat.

Wherever the beast's blood goes, the burning sensation follows, and when all the beast's blood enters the stomach, it is as if a fire begins to burn from inside, and the next moment it will burn him to ashes.

Ming Cheng closed his eyes tightly, he had never told Yan Feng what kind of pain he had to endure every day with this breath. Beast blood is a good thing for humans who have been strengthened by beast genes, and it is really nothing less than a pack of poison to Ming Cheng, who has only been ordinarily strengthened.

He didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid that tears would fall out as soon as he opened them.

Yan Feng didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, his lowered eyes covering the pain under his eyes. He lowered his head and snaked down his brow, leaving a string of warm kisses.

The other beast genetic enhancers in the room watched them silently, and none of them said a word. In the last days, if you want to keep your loved ones, you often have to pay a thousand times the price.

And the most painful thing is to watch your lover die little by little in front of your eyes, but you can't do anything about it.

"I want to go up there and see it." After sitting like this for a while, Ming Cheng leaned on Yan Feng's shoulder socket and said. He struggled slightly, and even half-sat up.

Yan Feng helped him, but his eyes were inexplicably red. When the others saw him, they all turned their heads silently.

"Don't look like this, I feel better. Really, I just want to get out and about. He even smiled, then reached out and touched Yan Feng's thin cheek.

His hands were pale and thin, and all that was left was skin and bone. In fact, he was very uncomfortable at this time, he didn't know what kind of blood of the beast Yan Feng gave him to drink today, and after resting for so long, his heart was still churning, as if he would vomit it out along with his internal organs in the next moment.

Then he realized that he could move. Ming Cheng smiled, this is probably what the book says, back to the light.

"Okay, I'll take you out." Yan Feng looked at him for a while, and then agreed. He wrapped Ming Cheng from head to toe, revealing only two eyes, and then carried him out of the underground defense room.

This underground fortification chamber was later discovered and cleared out as a temporary shelter. Walking up from below, there is a long, dark corridor.

Because Yan Feng was holding him, Ming Cheng's hand was around his neck. It was pitch black all around, Ming Cheng let go of a hand, he touched Yan Feng's face, and after determining the position of his lips, he raised his head and kissed it.

Yan Feng stopped, and the two of them kissed in the uninhabited passage.

"Ah Feng, if I unfortunately die, let me finish my words!" He stretched out his hand to cover what Yan Feng wanted to refute, and gasped before continuing.

"I like places with flowers and trees, if I really die, you have to take my ashes to that place to be buried, otherwise I won't wait for you in the next life, I will elope with someone else." Ming Cheng said as he spoke, but he couldn't help but laugh. The next life or something is just a mythical story unique to the imperial capital, and he suddenly felt that he was really naïve to say such things.

But what does it matter, although this wood has never said that it likes him, everything done for him is full of love. As for the missing sentence, it will be the same if I make it up in the next life.

It's just that now, love but can't be white, and the one who is left behind is the most cruel.

You have to give this fool a little obsession......

Ming Cheng buried his face in Yan Feng's arms and hugged him tightly. Now, if you don't say you love me, as a punishment, let you fight with my ashes for a while.

When you have the ability to take my ashes off this planet, you must have many companions that you can't part with. Perhaps, I will meet a lover who is much better than me.

In any case, please live well.
